Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Afterburner work without the Ramjet barrel?
The Afterburner compensator can be used independently, but the maximum 44% recoil reduction figure is achieved specifically when paired with the Radian Ramjet barrel. Using the Afterburner alone will still provide meaningful muzzle rise control, but for peak performance, using both components together is strongly recommended.
Will this compensator work with standard Glock 19 holsters?
The Afterburner's angled front face is specifically designed to aid in holstering, and its micro profile minimizes interference. However, because it does add a small amount of length to the muzzle, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific holster — particularly form-fitting Kydex designs — before purchasing.
What ammunition is recommended for best performance with the Afterburner?
Radian Weapons rates the 44% recoil reduction figure using standard 115 grain ammunition. The compensator is designed to function reliably with a range of 9mm loads, but lighter grain ammunition in the 115g range will yield the most noticeable reduction in muzzle rise and felt recoil during rapid fire strings.
